Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. “Proverbs 3:7‘

Biblical wisdom sees life from God’s perspective. When we try to rationalize everything in our life, we have turned our walk with God into an intellectual pursuit rather than a truth fulfilling living relationship with God. As seen in “Proverbs 3:5-7‘, God desire us not to lean on our own understanding, but to trust in Him wholeheartedly, seek the Lord in everything we do, to fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.

When an unbeliever fears God, they are afraid of God’s judgement and eternal death. Fear of God as a believer, is a reverent awe of God’s holiness, majesty, and supreme power. “Proverbs 1:7‘ declares, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.” Until we understand who God is and develop a reverential fear of Him, we cannot have true wisdom. True wisdom comes only from understanding of who God is and that He is Holy, just, and righteous.

In the fear of God, we respect, obey, submit to, and worship Him in awe.

Let us pray:

Dear LORD, almighty Heavenly Father, Your wisdom is unmeasurable and Your holiness is morally perfect. Thank You for Your marvelous righteous Word, which is a lamp to my feet. And thank You for Your Holy Spirit who guides and fulfills me with the truth. Help me to always seek Your wisdom in all I do and to obey You LORD. May You strengthen my will to resist temptation and deepen my wisdom to see evil for what it truly is. LORD bless me with wisdom and strength. Thank you dear LORD, almighty Heavenly Father. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious, fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through JESUS CHRIST, our almighty wonderful, infinite loving, glorious, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
